Title: Caste Options in Entity raws
Post by: Acanthus117 on April 05, 2010, 11:09:00 pm

There should be more options for castes in the entity raws, like only members of Caste A can be soldiers, while the rest are farmers or something. Also, clothing should be able to be restricted to certain castes, like only women can wear jewelry and lots of nice stuff, while men are left with loincloths and vests.

Gender-specific clothing was discussed in these two threads:

Using castes for it is a new idea though.

Unless you're creating a race of big-bosomed amazons by having soldiers confined to the female caste, what you want is a social caste, which is not supported yet. When you see caste here, think "eusocial castes" not "social castes".
